Thud! Thud! Thud!Shortly after the car doors were closed, the enforcement team from Internal Affairs rushed into the house. The person leading the team was Rupert Greece.Dale was elated when he saw them. “Captain Rupert, you’re here! Has Mr. Byron told you what’s happened?”Rupert nodded and glanced at Adrian and the other two.“Nobody would dare to cause trouble in Internal Affairs’ territory. Mr. Byron has already ordered this house to be demolished, yet you’re trying to seek compensation. I suggest you extort that money in prison instead!“You three have severely broken Internal Affairs’ rules, plus one of you even laid your hands on another person. This alone will be enough to charge you with years of imprisonment,” Rupert said to the trio.He was being straightforward because he already got the gist of the situation from Byron.Meanwhile, Adrian seemed slightly infuriated by Byron’s absence. Eyebrows furrowed, he said, “Byron should be here to deal with his own matters, y

Rupert trembled when he heard this.‘Three seconds? Are you kidding me? That’s literally not time at all!’However, he immediately shouted when Adrian started counting down, “I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”After that, he was trembling even more vigorously as his sweat drenched his clothes.Adrian smiled and said, “In that case, have your men sent to Byron’s residence immediately. I’ll be right there.“And remember. No press.”“Yes, sir!” Rupert shouted and waved. “Let’s go!”Rupert and his men immediately ran out of the house and did as they were told. However, Dale was still on his knees, not daring to get up without Adrian’s permission. He trembled even more after Rupert left.“Are you still going to tear down this house tomorrow?” Adrian asked as he looked at Dale.Dale immediately shook his head. “I-I’m not going to tear down this place anymore, sir. I won’t do it no matter what!”“You know, I’m not an unreasonable man. You’re free to tear down the place once you’ve compensated

Byron was stunned when he heard this.‘Working with the Luposians? Providing them support?’Byron was just calmly sitting in his office hours ago, not expecting to end up being arrested by the Battle Warrior Department. Because of this, he was furious.‘I’m the deputy chief secretary of Internal Affairs! I won’t allow anyone to step over my authority!’“How dare you accuse me, Draco! Our departments have never been at odds with one another so how dare you meddle in my affairs!” Byron stood on the bed and yelled at Adrian.“Silence!” Rupert suddenly swung a punch at Byron’s face, causing the latter to collapse onto the bed in pain. In fact, a few of his teeth had fallen off from that ferocious punch.“Are you still going to pretend that you’re a decent man, Byron? You’re hereby under arrest by War Legate Draco himself. Nobody is going to come and save you now!”Byron’s fury meter finally reached its peak, unable to believe that he had just been punched by his subordinate. “Rupert

The SK Group was a foreign-invested, medium-sized company in Swallowston.Quite a number of Luposians were working, and Tanner was one of them.For the longest time, Luposians had never received any restrictions while conducting their business here. They were not even affected by the constant battle in the outlands. In fact, many locals worked for SK.Adrian soon arrived at their gates and was about to drive inside when the company’s security guards stopped him. SK’s internal security consisted solely of Luposians. Locals were hired as security because the company was afraid they might be proven to be irresponsible, thus opting to use their own people.One of the security guards knocked on Adrian’s car window before gesturing for him to step out of the car for an inspection.“No outsider and their cars are allowed within the premises so what are you doing here? Are you here to meet someone?” a Luposian security guard in his uniform asked in broken Navillian, the native language of

Vivian started asking about Adrian’s personal life.After all, he had been her student once and they were able to run into each other out of sheer luck.However, Adrian had no idea how to answer her question. After a brief pause, he said, “I’m married too, Viv.”“What?” Vivian seemed pleasantly surprised as she looked at Adrian. “Well done, you! You’re such a handsome man so I’m sure you bagged yourself a beautiful wife as well, haven’t you? So, who’s the lucky girl?”Adrian remained silent for a while before smiling sheepishly. “You’ve probably heard of her. Her name’s Samantha Cowell.”“S-Samantha?”“Samantha Cowell,” Adrian repeated.Vivian was instantly shocked and could not find the words to say for a while. She had an awkward expression on her face and seemed caught in a daze.After a long pause, she still seemed to be in disbelief as she said, “There have been so many rumors going around about how the eldest son of the Xanders married the eldest daughter of the Cowells…
